Of course, my FIL has yet to grasp that we are 3 hours ahead of him so he frequently calls at 11 or midnight without thinking about the fact we go to sleep at 8 or 9.

I get up at 5:30 and start work at 7 so sometimes I will send/respond to text messages in the morning but I try to wait until I'm at work so that I don't wake anyone up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-is-too-early-to-textcall-someone#post-1604499 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:24:39 +0000 Mae 1604499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll text pretty much whenever. Although I'm rarely up before 7-8 so thats not really an issue. Honestly I feel bad calling someone to chat almost any time haha. I don't like people calling me to chat because it feels so intrusive (like no matter what time it is, you're doing SOMETHING then your phone rings and all of a sudden you have to drop what you're doing). So I don't like calling others to chat either. Usually I'll only call for quick questions (after 9am) or if I know for sure they're not busy or I'll text and ask them to call me when they have time to chat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-is-too-early-to-textcall-someone#post-1604466 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:19:14 +0000 LuLu Mom 1604466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm...I text anytime, but I don't call before 9 on weekends or before 8 weekdays (to those working moms.) My friends and I have such an open policy though. It's not unusually for my phone to go off at 6:30 with a dream story from a friend or a funny story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-is-too-early-to-textcall-someone#post-1604465 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:18:30 +0000 Ra 1604465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm always up by 7, so any time after that. I usually won't call anyone before 8 or 9. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-is-too-early-to-textcall-someone#post-1604451 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:16:29 +0000 Adira 1604451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything before 9:00 a.m. is too early (unless I made plans with you the night before and we're supposed to touch base early). And anything after 9:00 p.m. is too late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-is-too-early-to-textcall-someone#post-1604420 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:11:02 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1604420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The earliest I want anyone bothering me is 8 but I'm really much more comfortable with 9ish. It isn't that I'm not up early, it's that I'm on auto-pilot until then. Get up, feed the kids, feed myself, get a cup of coffee, etc. Interrupt the routine at your own risk :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-is-too-early-to-textcall-someone#post-1604419 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:10:55 +0000 Mamaof2 1604419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Text?

But, I also tailor it based on what I know of their schedule; I would call earlier (or wait until later) based on the person. </p> <p>I have one friend who regularly texts me at about 6:45. However, I don't mind and she knows I don't mind because my phone is on "do not disturb" then. I just get back to her later when I'm awake and functional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-is-too-early-to-textcall-someone#post-1604396 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:06:48 +0000 blackbird 1604396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends who it is. I texted a friend at 6am today because I knew she was up because she starts work at 6:30. Everybody knows I get up early, so I don't really care. And i have this setting on my phone (the moon? whatever it is) for do not disturb between hours that I *am* asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-is-too-early-to-textcall-someone#post-1604387 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:04:28 +0000 Dandelion 1604387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm usually up by 7 so it's no big deal to me if someone calls or texts then. But I try to keep it after 8 to other people. (Except my mom...we text whenever and know that the other will see and respond whenever we can.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-is-too-early-to-textcall-someone#post-1604384 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:04:19 +0000 charmed 1604384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say no earlier than 8am during the week, maybe a little later on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-is-too-early-to-textcall-someone#post-1604377 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:03:12 +0000 Smurfette 1604377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they are a Mom and I know they are up, I will at 7. But not earlier then that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-is-too-early-to-textcall-someone#post-1604373 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:02:09 +0000 Bao 1604373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just curious what others think is too early to call or text a friend or family member. I think if it's important then there's no such thing as too early, but if it's just to chat anything before 8am is too early for me! I had a friend text me at 6:56am, I checked it then ignored it only because I couldn't keep my eyes open :) The only time it bothers me and I'll answer in rage is if it's a telemarketer that has made multiple calls. </p> <p>Do you think there's times that are too early to call or text someone? </p>
